FRIEND WANTED

Not sure where this post comes under but I need someone for advice/motivation/accountability/ hand-in-hand support. Someone who can check up on me daily. Preferably someone who has similar stats to me. I'm 19, 5ft6 and currently around 180lb but would like to get back to my pre ED weight of 145lb. I've been struggling with bulimia/ binge-eating since I was 16 and it's gradually taking things away from me. My confidence for a start, I used to be an atheletic, happy, social teenager but now I've become isolated, anxious and rather out of control. I have stopped doing things I used to love, primarily riding and enjoying my horse as I'm now too heavy for her. Horses are very close to my heart (and for very personal reasons too) so this makes me embarrassingly upset. I am now in my second year at uni and struggling to get through the course, constantly worrying about a career etc. Although I feel I've been 'dieting/losing weight' all my life I find it very difficult in the 'student' environment. I believe my problems all stems from my family situation which has long term and ongoing impacts that I have always struggled to come to terms with. I've started seeing a counsellor at uni to help me with my general wellbeing and a ED clinic to address my eating difficulties, however I need more consistency. I feel I could really benefit from someone who's been in a similar position and I could turn to for support quickly. I don't want to battle with myself anymore!
